A Hideous Museum.

Among the numerous collectors Of
curiosities of every kind who abound
IN Paris, there is one wealthy virtuoso
who amuses himself by collecting
de aths' heads aud skeletons fanastical
ly carved or modelled in marble, ,earthen
ware, wood or precious stones. These he
has gathered together IN kind of mu-
scum of death, which at first sight
seems hideous and ''macabre," but on
closer inspection proves highly inter-
esting. Some Of the heads have been
detached from these old medieval
rossry-beads which were usually orna-
mented on one side, with the profile of
a king or a saint, and IN the other
with the grinning face of skeleton
engaged in taking from off his bones
the conquer worms which have been
claiming him as their own. The col
lector has given lugubrious reality
to the objects in his museum by placing
bere and there among them the skulls
OF dead women.-Pdris Cor. London

The Phonopore.

"There seems to be no end" says
the 50. James Gazette, ''to the mar
vels of electrical science. We have
long known that, inexplicable as it
seemed, messages could be sent through
a wire in opposite directions at the
same moment. But now we have Mr..
Langdon Davies utilizing for tele-
graphic purposes form of electric
force which can be separated almost
from the ordinary electric current, and
which can pass freely through insula-
tors impossible by currents. The new
instrument, termed phonopore, can
be attached to any telegraph line. as
was done day or two back in the
case of line from London Bridge to
Folkestone. The result was that it was
possible to send phonoporic message
over the heads, as it vera, of the usual
operators, who could continue all the
time to work the line from either end,
or at any intermediate point, and in
both directions. Moreover, when the
line at either end was disconnected, so
that there was no closed circuit, and
telegraphic messages were therefore
entirely impossible, the phonopore
worked as successfully as ever"

How the Japs Measure Time.

A p arty of Americans, describing a
shopping tour while recently in Japan,
refer among other things to the clocks
shown them. Some were constructed
on American models, while others were
fashioned upon principles peculiarly
japanese, and supposed to be more
convenient for the registration of theil
singular time. The twenty four hours
are divided in Japan into twelve periods
OF time, six of which are appropriated
to darkness and six to the light. The
day being calculated from sunrise 10
sunset, there is a necessary variation
in the length of the six day and six
night hours, the latter being the long
est in Winter the former 10 Summer.
The clocks are altered periodically to
suit the seasons OF the year. --Je,oelerS'

1t was what was known as "swell
funeral, and the family florist had been
given carte blanche in the matter of
decorative expenditures. Accordingly,
one of the pieces sont home was an e.
laborate "Gates Ajar.' The widow
and one of her friends studied the piece
intently for some time, and the former
who was, perhaps, not as familiar with
religion or religious emblems as she
might have been, was unable to decide
on the spiritual significance of the
piece of floral art, for she exclaimed:
''Its very pretty, indeed; but I'm sure
/ don't know what ii is meant to repre-

the other, who was evidently a disciple
of Mr.. Howell's realism, sits an open

into something Numerically opposed

Conkling's Wife's Praise.

When Rosco Conkling left the Senate
he was hardened among other things
by friend whose note he had endorsed
for SS5. 900. and the friend failed. Sem
ator Conkling, at great sacralice, raised
the amount and took up the note.
Mr.. Conkling told friend not long
since that this debt drew out OF him a
need of praise which he cherished be-
yond anything that has ever been spok-
en- of him. Said he:
my wife wrote to me incidentally
that she had heard that had indorsed
a note for this friend who had failed to
the extent Of S65,000. She said that
she disbelieved the story, and merely
mentioned it that 1 might know the
things that were being said My reply
to her was that the report was some
what in error because instead Of sos.
900 it was sS5, 900. for which had be-
come responsible, but l said to her that
l had no regrets for it. rs he was my
friend. and that il had 1t to do over
again the Endorsement would be given
a second time, as cheerfully as the first
time, because | knew that under a re-
versal of positions between myself and
my friend he would do as much for me.
l sad TO her that | should pay the in
debtedness When / got her response
it was in few words aud summed up
in this sentence: "You have a brave
spirit"
